First off, RH9 is dead, dead, dead.  Red Hat stopped supporting it over
a year ago.  If you want a free Linux, you really should use Fedora Core
3 (which is what Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 is based on).

That being said, go into your BIOS on your machine and disable "Legacy
USB Support" (or whatever your BIOS calls it) and try again.
